You won’t have to remind Oakville’s Andrew Harasimowicz to say yes to Encore anymore.

The retiree rarely adds Encore when he buys his lottery tickets, but that will certainly change after he matched the last six of seven Encore numbers in exact order to win $100,000 in the Nov. 26, 2022 Lotto 6/49 draw.

“I’ll always be adding Encore now!,” said Harasimowicz while picking up his winnings at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.

The win was certainly a pleasant surprise for Harasimowicz.

“I was quite happy! I told my wife, and she was so excited,” he said.

As for his winnings, the local resident says they’ll go straight into the family budget.

“We’ll celebrate with a family dinner and maybe take a vacation,” he said.

Harasimowicz’s winning ticket was purchased at Pioneer Mini Mart on Lakeshore Road in Oakville.
